ne Has Secured a Lively wife.

A Dover (N. H. telegram says
Hannah Sykes, a girl seventeen years
old, has had peculiar career, and has
figured several times in the police
courts. When the Salvation Army
came to town she at once joined it and
was one of its loudest shouters. 4
few days ago she was arrested for steal
ing dress, and on her way to the sta
ton jumped off a bridge to escape.
When her case came up to-day Thomas
F. Gray, of New York, appeared in
court and asked permission to marry
the girl. Neither Hannah nor any one
else knew Gray, and the Judge said
that no matrimonial business could be
transacted until the case was settled.
Gray then paid the girls fine and an
hour afterwards married her. 1t is said
that Gray read of Hannah's exploits in
the papers and, thinking she would
make lively wife, came on to marry
her. The young couple will go to New
York tomorrow and begin housekeer-
ing.

day exhibited to a Dispatch reporter an
anti-magnetic shield for protecting
time-pieces. 1t is composed OF pure
copper and gold and decarbonized steel
of the finest quality, so arranged as to
secure the result required. The watch
movement is surrounded inside OF the
case by a very neat and compact shield
OF this combination, which does not
increase the size of the case, and acts
as a difTusing agent, and the result IS
obtained by absorbing, conducting, and
diilusing the magnetic influence before
IL reaches the watch movement.

dropped the reins Oh the dashboard,
jumped from the cart, and, clad Just as
she was, with hat and gloves on, rushed
into the pond. 4,
Before she reached the drowning girl
she was obliged to swim. She did
reach her, however, and, after terrible
struggle, she brought her ashore,
partly by swimming and partly BY
walking up the inclined bottom with
her own head under water. All this
time the girl was clinging about her
and impeding her movements. After
the girl was safely landed her brave
little rescuer nearly tainted. The affair
has created q great sensation, and the
plucky and pretty lady is receiving con-
gratulations on all hands.

EASTERN EXTENSION
FULTON AND TIE HIw-RgsERvoIR
PARK CLASP HANDS.
The First Trip Made Yesterday Over ths
East End Of the City
Eailwsy.

If bonbshell had fallen into Ful-
ton yesterday morning the inhabitants
could not have been more surprised
than when one Of the City railway cars
made its appearance in their midst.
Nobody expected it, and even the rail,
way employees knew nothing about the
intended start until Superintendent
Selden told one OF the drivers to take
his car on the East-End extension.
Although the line is not yet COM
pleted the track has been laid and the
cars run to the furthest point-Seventh
and Louisiana streets. From here a
loop will be made around the square
by Denny-Street Park, bringing the
line back to Rockets street and up TO
the starting point-Twenty-oighth and
Main streets-by double track.
FIRST TRIP.
The first trip was made soon after
noon. As Councilman Parater heard
the familiar tinkle he ran to the front
OF his store, and when he saw car
coming right by his door his heart was
made glad, for be witnessed the con-
summation Of one of hisfondest hopes
and in his ecstacy he boarded the car
and made three or four trips, and
helped to drive the Rockets urchins of
before his wrought-up feelings sub
sided.
THE ADDITION.
The Fulton extension adds nearly a
mile to the length of the city railway
east and west. AS soon asthe loop and
double track are completed the Main
street cars will run through on Fulton
as they do on Main street now. Until
then a set of ears will be put down
there, and make trips every fifteen or
twenty minutes.
The line takes passengers within n
stone's.throw of the steamer wharves,
and most of the route lays in full sight
of the river and the jetties and touches
near the cedar-works and the old
James-river brewery. On the other
hand is the lower gaS-works, the Chess-
peake and Ohio railroad trestle, and
high up is ChimborazO Park.
ONE FARE ONLY.
The people haven't been used to such
a long ride for five cents. That's true
but it has been often published that
only one fare is charged from begin
ming to end. However, there are some
people who still think they have to pay
more than five cents; for reporter OF
this paper heard the question several
times asked on the Rockets cars yes
terday. The charge is only nickel
from the New-rescryoir lake to the
heart of Fulton,
CONGRATULATIONS.
The Richmond City Railway Com
pauy is certainly to be congratulated
for the enterprise exhibited in thus
uniting the most distant sections Of the
city. and its efforts should be (as they
will bel sincerely appreciated.
